Yes. Pastel, neon, and metallic colors are among the 33 color pens included. The final three are all black.
The tiny internal pin that comes out through the tip is how most of these die. More than half of the cartridges have this problem before they run out of ink. The thicker versions of the pen have never caused me any problems. Certain types of paper cause it to happen in a predictable manner, but it usually happens at random on regular copier paper.
It usually doesn't bleed through, but because it's a gel pen, scribbling on the same spot repeatedly will eventually bleed through, though it takes a long time. They don't usually smear, but they can occasionally leave small balls of runny ink that can smear, so keep an eye out for those. I buy cheap notebooks at back-to-school sales, and the pages are see-through but not bleed-through.

"Jay Z sings a lot about these guys, but I don't know much about them," I thought as I entered a Cartier store about a year ago. I quickly realized that I was not the target market for Cartier's products, but I wondered where I could start if I wanted to get my foot in the door. I figured pens would be a good place to start. br>br>This is incorrect. br>br>Seeing a Cartier fountain pen for around $700 and chewing on my gum, I asked the sales associate, "Excuse me sir, pardon my ignorance, but what is the advantage of this $700 Cartier pen over my $2. 50 G2? "br>br>He adjusted his cuff link, swallowed, and said, "Um, well, uh, you see," before pushing a few papers to the side, looking at the $700 pen, and gently saying, "Well, you know, that, uh, well. " "The G2 is a fantastic writing instrument. " br>br>That is why I prefer to write with the G2 instead of the pen Jay Z recommends.
It's very pigmented and smooth.
First and foremost, I am a pen fiend. They must feel perfect in my hand, they must not scratch when writing, the ink must flow smoothly, they must be fine point, and they must NOT be gel (I despise gel pens)! My favorite pen ran out of ink about a year ago, and I found myself in pen hell. due to the fact that my favorite pen was no longer available for purchase. That's when I started looking for a new pen to use. I can't even begin to tell you how many different brands I tried because I honestly have no idea. I'd get a new one and if it didn't work for me, I'd donate it. It was a never-ending cycle, to put it that way. Because the G2 pens are gel, and as previously stated, I despise gel pens, I'd never tried them. Finally, I received recommendations from two different friends, each promising that they would be unlike any other gel pen I'd ever used. I'm glad I paid attention because they were absolutely correct! These pens surpassed all of my pen requirements! I actually prefer them to my previous favorite! I normally only use black ink pens because I dislike blue. When I ordered the G2, I figured, what the hell, I'll order something other than black because I'm going against everything I believe a pen should be (not gel). As a result, I chose navy blue as my color. It's perfect for me! I'm telling you, if they ever stop producing navy blue G2 pens, I'm going to be devastated. Yes, I have a pen obsession!.
I work for a police department that issues citations, warnings, reports, and other documents on thermal paper in our patrol vehicles. Each ticket I issue necessitates the printing of multiple copies, which I must fill out and sign in certain fields. To acknowledge receipt, the person to whom I'm giving the ticket must sign one copy. As a result, all copies are smeared with ink. This is particularly true when it comes to the copy I receive from the individual. They usually scribble their signature on a piece of paper and hand it to me quickly. If they don't smear it, I'll most likely do so because being aware of my surroundings is more important to me than avoiding touching the ink. br>br>With that in mind, I set out to find the best pen I could find for writing on our thermal paper with the least amount of smearing and the quickest dry time possible. The requirements were simple: Black ink, a click pen, and the least amount of smearing possible. br>br>My test was very simple. I'd write my rank, first initial, last name, and star number on a piece of paper, then count to two. one- "thousand," I say, before running my finger across the surface. br>br>Is this the best pen I've found? br>BIC Soft Feel Ball Pen (which smeared more, in no particular order): br>BIC Atlantis Original, Comfort, Original, Original, Original, Original, Original, Original, Original, Original, Original, Original, Original, Uni-exactbr>Uni-exactbr>Uni-exactbr>Uni Ball Jetstream is a type of ball. 380 & 5

Each box contains at least one dud. The pens I use the most - The lines are very smooth and beautiful, and they don't smudge as easily as the thicker varieties do. Unfortunately, a few of the pens in my most recent boxes have become scratchy and unusable for no apparent reason. I believe the ball point has flipped over. It's quite strange - comes as a complete surprise. They're still worth it to me despite the occasional dud, and I'm hoping they'll figure out a way to fix the problem soon.
I've been using these pens for years and they're my absolute favorite. br>br>I prefer to write in a smaller font and on the. All of my letters are legible thanks to the 38 roller ball; There are no bleed-throughs between the lines.

Because of these pens, I was able to pack everything I needed and more. (See photos attached. ) They're fantastic.
I'm not sure why the G2 pen is so popular. I purchased the blister pack of 5 pens based on the excellent reviews given to this product, but the reviews are incorrect; the advertisements and reviews state that the pen does not glob - this is not the case. Wrong. It constantly globs, making it difficult to write notes because the G2 will not stop spitting out large blobs of ink every now and then. It is claimed in advertisements and reviews that it does not skip. Wrong. One of my biggest pet peeves about pens is that they skip right when I need them to write clearly. This pen skips and skips and skips and skips and skips and jumps and jumps and jumps and jumps and br>br>Don't be fooled by the advertisements or the mysterious reviews. If you want clear, clean writing across your page, this G2 pen is nearly useless. If you don't want your page to be strewn with ink globs and missing word parts, don't use this pen. While taking notes, I also drew on high-quality paper in an artist sketchbook. But no dice; regardless of the paper's quality, the results were identical. Glob and Skip are two of our favorite characters. AD2 br>br>AD2 br>AD2 br>AD2 br>AD2.
